I love this guy. The only reason I haven’t mentioned him earlier is I thought it was obvious. Roddy Piper is best known (outside of wrestling) for his role in John Carpenter’s They Live, where he kicked more ass than he chewed bubble gum, particularly in an epic street fight with fellow Johnny Drama Keith David, which serves as the centerpiece of the film even though it’s mostly unnecessary. Roddy went on to appear in the Highlander, Robocop and Mortal Kombat TV shows and the modern classic Hell Comes to Frogtown.
